Abstract: Milne-like spacetimes are a class of $k=-1$ FLRW spacetimes which admit continuous spacetime extensions through the big bang. In a previous paper [30], it was shown that the cosmological constant appears as an initial condition for Milne-like spacetimes. In this paper, we generalize this statement to spacetimes which share similar geometrical properties with Milne-like spacetimes but without the strong spatially isotropic assumption associated with them. We show how our results yield a "quasi de Sitter" expansion for the early universe which could have applications to inflationary scenarios.
